IIRC they retconned it or something by saying he was actually Lex Jr., as if that makes it better. I really do dislike when adaptations don’t even try to bear semblance to the source material and the studio just slaps the recognizable name on them for marketing (ex. the MCU’s Taskmaster or their original attempt at The Mandarin)

Wasn’t the whole point of The Mandarin in IM3 that he was a fake?
Yes, but until Shang-Chi, that was the MCU’s Mandarin, Potemkin or otherwise
